Suitcase full of summer!

Saturday, July 03, 2010

Being the last minute, at the speer of the moment kinda girl I am, July is here and I still don't have my vacation planned. I am trying to cater to so many people that I fail to take care od my own needs and wants.

I have added this to my TO DO "personal improvement list" right after the "find the man stronger than you" point. If I will try to complete this TO DO list in a numerical order, I shall never even think about the "taking care of my own needs first" point. Note to self - start from the bottom of the list.

Anyways, bellow you can see my list of "Can't live without this summer" items. Enjoy!

1. Maxi dresses and a sheer cover up are an apsolute must have and great for a vacation dinner and going to beach. The blue sequin Georgete cover up, white belted Jane Norman maxi dress for the day and royal blue one shoulder also Jane Norman dress for the night are my top picks.

2. Grace ivory fedora hat is a must have for summer as well. Not only it protects your face from sun but it is also super stylish. White tank is great cover up for any bikini. I adore the Mellisa coral jelly flats which helps you stay fabulous in and out of the water. Jean shorts are must have and a staple for each fashionistas summer vacation suitcase.

3. In addition to fabuous summer clothes, you can really have fun with jewelry and wear a lot of it without it looking over the top. Bellow are some fabulous and spiritual Harajuku pieces I feel in love with and will totally get!

4. Perfect bikini is indeed hard to find, because in it there is nothing you can really hide. I suggest to get one which is going to compliment your skin tone and body shape with its color and pattern and emphasize your bodies best attributes.

Whenever I shop for bikinis I try to get two models that fit each other and which I can mix and match. One is usually more sporty and classic, while the other one is more elaborative with pattern and thinner straps like this Diane Von Furstenberg love knot one. I am also into sexy one piece swimsuits like this Reef Santiago one.

5. One of my pet peeves are rubber flip flops. It is simply a sin to wear those simple rubber shoes (outside of the house) when you can wear one of these fabulous summer sandals posted bellow: Endless strappy sandals, Miu Miu gladiators, Oasis net gladiators and pink strappy low wedges.

6. I wear dresses year around but summer dresses are my favorite, right after coming from spending all day at the beach my friends and I are getting ready to go out. Five girls to one or two bathrooms can be a recipe for next world war so having couple of statement piece dresses to throw on real quick is vital!

8.You also need an appropriate purse for summer heat. It should be small, because you don't need much more than a lipgloss, parfume and a wallet in it.

Here are the cutest purses for this season! D&G woven tote is great for the beach, Straw studio wicker clutch you can wear day to night and for more of a glam look choose Stella McCartney's cream flap bag.

9. Do not forget to protect the skin you are in :) Personally, during the summer on top of the olive and almond oil organic sunscreen lotion, I mostly use light parfumed body milk. My favorites are Philosophy Coconut frosting and Dalmatika by Rosal olive scented body milk - these leave your skin with healthy shine (not to greasy as body oil would be) and they moisturize your skin and recover it from daily sun exposure.

10. The last but not the least! Don't forget to relax and enjoy this summer to the fullest! Try one of the extreme sports (I will do bungee jumping) , travel to the new destination for this years vacation and have a summer fling and you will have a happy memory to keep your spirits up for the rest of the year, and it will make next summer come by quicker! :)

Let me know what your plans for summer are and what you can't live without during summer!
